Integration of REST-Based Web Service and Browser Extension for Instagram Spam Detection

In this paper, a REST-based Web Service developed in previous work was integrated with a newly developed browser extension that works in modern browser (Firefox and Google Chrome) using Greasemonkey. It uses previous collected datasets which comprised of 17.000 postings and comments from 10 Indonesian actresses whom followers are more than 10 million on Instagram. The performance of the developed web services has been evaluated and the average response time is 1678.133ms using AWS platform located in Ohio (US East 2). The proposed work is working as expected and in accuracy test, it has reached 63.125% in overall, 72% for non-stemmed data and 70% for stemmed data using 1000 test data with a processing time needed for classification is under 2s. The new extension works in Firefox and Chrome and it can utilize the web services to classify spam comments in Instagram.
